Anti-Jesus

As the Father shows the prophet Silvana about Satan and his nature and his plans, she has been talking about the antichrist and what he will be like. One thing that the Holy Spirit said as we were talking about this topic, "Don't think of the anti-christ. Think of what it really is: the anti-Jesus". Of course anti-christ is another way to say anti-Jesus but it makes a difference in your understanding if you realize that what is coming is personal and against Jesus.

As Silvana spoke of Satan rallying different religions around himself, pretending to be for peace, for good, we could see how many are eager for anything but Jesus. At first the anti-Jesus will pretend to be for the religions, for peace, for unity. Christians will be blamed if they do not want to join into this coalition for peace, realizing that there is no peace without the resolution of the evil that brought about the war. The world will be deceived because they want to be deceived. They did not love the truth when it was said to them, so the Father will allow them to be deceived by the great deception. How many refuse now to view the war on terror or the war in Iraq as a good thing. However, even this deception will come to an end, and Jesus will return, and the earth will be chastised for their love of evil, their rejection of the Father and His ways, and their rejection of Jesus, who has never done anything but good. The Jews are eager for a Messiah who is not Jesus.

Silvana said that Hitler is almost like a trial run of the anti-christ because Hitler was persuasive with what he said. The antichrist will be charismatic and believable as well, but Satan will be with him, with lying words and brutal heart. To see the true nature of Satan, to see his heart, look to Stalin and Saddam Hussein. Murder of millions lies behind their apparent civility as they meet with leaders of the world. As Satan maneuvers mankind by claiming to want peace, death will come. As the Scriptures say, "Peace and safety, and then comes sudden destruction". Israel will never be in greater danger than at this time. Her very existence as a nation is at stake. And unless she repents of rejecting Jesus, and receives Him, the nation Israel will be no more. (Although Jewish people will remain, for they live all over the world. Millions are in America.)

Praying for Amy

We were praying for Amy who had tried to take her own life. The enemy loves to bring despair to mankind. As we were praying for her, we saw a demon pressing against her the whole length of her body. No wonder she feels depressed! Demons are masters at affecting our emotions, our thoughts, in any negative way that they can. We called out to Jesus to come against this demon and he was forced up and away from Amy, whom Jesus loves so deeply. Later we heard from people around Amy that she was doing much better that day than she had been in some time. When we despair, Jesus can help us. When we despair, and demons are present, it is very hard to bear what we feel, and the lies that come pouring to us from the spiritual realm. Thank you, Jesus, for what you are doing for Amy.

Victory!

What a complete and wonderful victory for Pastor Jean as the enemy tried to cause harm to him for giving out the free pictures of Jesus in Reanda. We have been rejoicing since Jean came home safely from his hearing before the authorities. Thank you, Father!

Good news also from Maria, who came over to Tonio and Nikki's house yesterday. Maria said she had been to the doctors for a MRI and that the drs looked at the MRI and told her that there is no cancer in her body! Jesus, you are so great! Click here to read about going to pray for Maria on March 12, 2007 http://the-table.blogspot.com/2007/03/praying-for-maria.html

We are hoping Jesus will do as spectacular a healing for Sandra. Silvana said we should go over and pray for Sandra (Silvana also sent us to Maria's) after Sandra's granddaughter called us asking for pictures of Jesus so Therese and Jordan and Char went over there on Friday night and met Sandra and her family and talked with them about Jesus and prayed for Sandra, who has had open heart surgery. One of her arms has been very sore since the surgery and she was not able to lift it without deep pain so she has not been using it much. Sandra told us that after we laid hands on her with oil to pray for her, "My arm feels good. My whole arm feels warm. I have been having pain in my upper arm and it is gone". Thank you, Jesus! We will keep you updated as we hear more from Sandra in the future.

Pray for Amy who feels despair and wishes she was no longer on this earth. She is hospitalized just now. We know that despair kills, and the enemy presses despair and hopelessness without mercy. Jesus, please help Amy.

Pray for Herb and Weema who are homeless in Hawaii. They have three children and Weema is pregnant with their fourth child.

We just picked up the new printing from Mark and Natasha. 105,000 pictures of Jesus, to which we will add string so people can wear them around their neck or hang them in their cars. We also got 2000 8x10 pictures of Jesus on waterproof paper so they can be put outside in the dark alleys and bad areas of towns, so people who need Jesus can see Jesus. If you are interested in putting pictures up in bad areas of your town, contact us for waterproof 8x10s. We also ordered another batch of 2000 waterproof 8x10s, which should be ready in the next week or so.

Great news from Pastor Jean!

Today was the day that Jean was scheduled to appear before the authorities. This monring I woke up and the first thing that the Father said was, "a great victory". All day we fasted, and stood, and prayed for Jean and waited for the victory.

Text from Jean at 11:07 PM, our time:

Hi Char!!! This Wed is for joy! God's great victory since last night. Me and Beathy arrived at home at 21:30. The final verdict was proclaimed victorious for me!

Fast with us on Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Tomorrow Pastor Jean has to go back before the authorities to hear their decision about passing out the free pictures of Jesus in certain areas in Rwanda. Some have threatened that they will put him in jail. Others have listened to him and his explanation of why he passes out the free pictures of Jesus and they are more sympathetic, recognizing him for what he is: an honest man. Tomorrow we are all going to fast and stand with Jean as he goes before this assembled group of authorities. We met with Jean in Yahoo Conference the other day and while there the Father promised to bring a victory at that meeting, so we have full confidence that Jesus will work this for good.

Join us in fasting tomorrow for Rwanda's sake. They have suffered so greatly at the hands of the mortal enemy of all mankind. Stand for them and pray for them now, as the Father is moving to restore them to a place of healing in their spirits. He loves Rwanda, and so do we.

The Rwandan Ambassador to the USA is coming to New Mexico to speak at the University of New Mexico Business School later this month. We have tickets to his speech at the main table so we can talk to him afterwards of all that OJP is doing in Rwanda, and of our plans and hopes for the school for the street children. We want to acquaint him with all that Jesus has been doing for Rwanda, and also of the opposition that has arisen to challenge Pastor Jean. We look forward to hearing his comments about education, which is the focus of this gathering.

Schooling in Rwanda

We have told you about Pastor Jean and his wife Beathy and their children moving into the midst of widows of the genocide. Their landlady is a widow from that time. Jean and Beathy have been reaching out to their new neighbors, giving them free pictures of Jesus, showing THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST in their home, and listening together with them to FAITH COMES BY HEARING, which is the audio Bible in English. We sent them about five NIV Bibles so they can improve their English skills by following along in the Scriptures as they are read aloud. If any of you have any spare NIV Bibles, they would love to have more. Contact us for a mailing address for Pastor Jean.

We asked Jean what we could pray for for the widows. What kind of problems did they have? He said that one big problem just now is that many cannot afford to send their children to school since it costs $100 per child per year. They have to wear a uniform to school, which is part of the cost. This is a large expense and now there are many who cannot afford to send their children to school. Jean said that if the children do not go to school that they become street children. He also said that when the kids are on the street that they tend to become alcoholics. He told me that he gave these street children pictures of Jesus and they said they love Jesus but they wish they could go to school. So I asked him, isn't there anyone who could take them in and help to teach them? Is there a building - a church, for instance, that could let the children come there to learn? Are there any volunteers who will help with the children?

Jean said he would check on this, and later he came back and told us that he had identified about 60 kids who need to go to school, and his church said they could use their building. He also said he had one person so far - his sister in law - who would volunteer to help. So, now we are looking to the Holy Spirit about this situation. Would you please pray for this with us? After the tragedy in Rwanda in the past, we must help them to get back on their feet, and to help the Father as He reaches out to bless them in many ways.

Father, help us with this school situation in Kigali. Please provide the supplies that we need to teach the children. Move in Rwanda with a sense of unity and purpose, with neighbor helping neighbor. Erase the memories of the past with the loving ones of today.

I asked Jean about Godfrey (the man that Silvana saw lying on his bed in pain, whose wife sent a child to fetch Jean to pray for him) and Jean said he was totally healed. Jesus, all we do is for you! Thank you for your love for dear Godfrey, our brother in Rwanda.

OPPOSITION IN RWANDA

This last week Pastor Jean in Rwanda was called before the authorites from some towns in Rwanda because he has been passing out the pictures of Jesus. False accusations were brought against him and he had to stand before a gathering of authorities and answer questions about giving out the free pictures of Jesus. He sent us a text messge as he was on the way to meet with them. When we received the message, Silvana saw a huge gathering of demons, there to oppose Jean for what he is doing for Jesus, and to oppose the free pictures of Jesus. Therese and I both saw many angels with swords drawn surrounding Jean, so we knew a battle was brewing over Jean and the pictures of Jesus, but we did not know the details until Jean and Char were able to meet in Yahoo Messenger the next day. We put their Yahoo conversation here so you can read Jean's comments and pray for him this coming Tuesday when he has to go back before the committee again. The notes in green were added later to clarify.

Isn't this how the apostles and the early servants of Jesus were opposed? The enemy has not changed. He is still determined to come against Jesus and to cause harm to anyone who is doing the will of our loving God. God bless Jean and his wife Beathy for their service to Jesus in Rwanda. Pray for them, and pray for all of Rwanda, where the Father wants to move to heal their wounds and lead them gently into relationships with His Son, Jesus.

Char Tierney and Pastor Miruho Jean de Dieu

Meeting in Yahoo Messenger

July 4, 2007

Pastor Jean: I am sorry to be late like this
the ceremony of liberation day was so long and i am coming from there right now
after stadium pastors were invited to feast the day somewhere so i spent a long time there
the persons who would listen to Faith Comes By Hearing (Note: Faith Comes By Hearing is the NIV Bible on audio tapes, which OJP
sent to Pastor Jean to share with his neighbors and others in Rwanda)
are invited to come back tomorrow because for today it was not possible and some of them were there too.
Char Tierney: now you have your fan?
Pastor Jean: yes fan and fridge now we have them
Char Tierney: that is good
(OJP provided a fridge and a fan for Pastor Jean and OJP in Rwanda to help with the hospitality of those who come to Jean's house for pictures of Jesus or to watch THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, or to listen to the Bible Audio Tapes
we hope they work well and are good tools for the Father
and for you
Pastor Jean: yes
Pastor Jean: For yesterday char, it was a hard day for me
Char Tierney: yes, we could see that
Pastor Jean: persons of bad will had accused me falsely
Char Tierney: there is a reaction to being attacked, very hard
Char Tierney: what did they say?
Pastor Jean: that i spread jesus pictures in their area without permission
Pastor Jean: but normally when someone requests for jesus pictures i must give to him without asking permission
Char Tierney: yes
Pastor Jean: and it was for good intentions not bad
Char Tierney: were they the leaders in a village? is that why they said you must get their permission?
Pastor Jean: not pushing people to sins but to salvation

Char Tierney: that is good that the authorities listened
Pastor Jean: yes i saw it when i was on the road
Char Tierney: did you receive that sms?
Pastor Jean: yes I saw it, and it was a hard obligation for me to go there
because i was called by authorities to give explainations to them
Char Tierney: so you were only going to face the authorities
because you had to do so
Pastor Jean: here in Africa it is not easy when authorities call you not to go there is considered as a crime
Char Tierney: I see, Jean
we understand
tell us more who called you and why and where it was
Pastor Jean: it was in Rubingo near my native village
and i was called by the local authorities
because they had received false information that something strange come in their area

Char Tierney: oh, so those towns gathered together - all in one meeting?
Pastor Jean: those who asked me many questions

Char Tierney: go on
Pastor Jean: but at the end i saw God presence they began to say contradiction ideas
even they had well planned for me for a jail
some were saying it is not a fault..
others saying they never seen me there spreading so the fault is for some one who bring there Jesus pictures himself
but i continued explain how that picture they are regreting
that Jesus made many miracles through it
some were well convinced, others continued to resist
and they told me i must go there again next tuesday
so now i see no matter because Jesus stand with me

Char Tierney: to try and cause you harm and many angels with Jesus and you
Pastor Jean: i thank Jesus so much
Char Tierney: to help you
Char Tierney: we do too
Char Tierney: we are so grateful to Jesus
Pastor Jean: as you pray pray for me for next tuesday as they call me again there
Char Tierney: were these village officials?
who are bringing the accusations
did they think it was a scam or magic of some kind or what?? what did they think about the free pictures of Jesus?
Char Tierney: we will be praying for you
Char Tierney: and asking others to pray too
Pastor Jean: the accusations came from those persons i said up and few others
but they are also officials some how they are chiefs in villages
so they complain against OJP to thei superiors
Char Tierney: some are wicked ones, Satan trying to oppose
Pastor Jean: yes
Char Tierney: OJP helps and prays for people
we have been talking about you being alone,
not having help

Pastor Jean: i showed them that OJP is from USA
Char Tierney: yes, we send them all over the world
Char Tierney: over 80 nations we have given pictures of Jesus
Pastor Jean: they accepted but continued to resist asking me if it may be a Church or not
Char Tierney: we have a pastor in Pakistan and we printed 30,000 JEUSS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME in Urdu with Jesus pictures on it
and he gave it away
(they printed it in Pakistan so we did not have to mail it)
Pastor Jean: i said it is not a church but a ministry of good will persons who love Rwanda and who love its people
Char Tierney: we are not a church, but we fellowship in Jesus with anyone who loves Him
Char Tierney: that was a good and true thing to say, Jean
Char Tierney: that is right
Char Tierney: we love Rwanda and Rwandans
Pastor Jean: yes
Pastor Jean: i think they will accept
Char Tierney: the ambassador to the USA from Rwanda is coming to New Mexico this month to speak at the UNM (business school - on July 27th) because we talked about Rwanda to people at that university
Char Tierney: so they invited him to come and talk to the students who want to come hear him
Char Tierney: at the University of New Mexico
Char Tierney: that was because we talk to people of Rwanda
Char Tierney: when we had the sale of clothes we said, "to support in Rwanda - for pastor there who lives among genocide widows"
Pastor Jean: it is only satan who wanted to resist
but satan will fail its plans i know
Char Tierney: yes
Pastor Jean: Jesus is powerful
Char Tierney: yes, Jesus, please work this for good
let great good come out of this, Jesus
Pastor Jean: yes pray for me especially on that tuesday satan will fail completely
Char Tierney: absolutely we will
Pastor Jean: i can not fear as i know that Jesus stand with me
Char Tierney: yes, dear Jean, we will be with you in spirit - all of us
Char Tierney: I told Anthony on the phone just now (Therese's son - he is 19) and he said he will pray for you and he thanked me for telling him about you
Pastor Jean: bless you.you stood with me
Char Tierney: yes, we did
Char Tierney: and the Holy Spirit showed
Char Tierney: both Therese and I saw the angels around you
Char Tierney: and they had swords drawn
Char Tierney: and it was clear you were going to be attacked
Char Tierney: as you were
Pastor Jean: yes
Char Tierney: and Silvana saw the huge cloud of demons gathered, because they hope to stop Jesus
Char Tierney: on Tuesday do you have to go and answer more questions?
Pastor Jean: not more questions but to hear for difinitive resolution
Char Tierney: to give permission on whether or not you have give out the free pictures?
Pastor Jean: if we continue spreading there or if they stop OJP or if they saw any fault to me
so it will be a final decision
but i think those who wanted me down will be ashamed as Jesus still stand with me
Char Tierney: yes
Char Tierney: Silvana is here
she saw many angels with you - she said there are so many angels that they make the demons look like only a few
the angels surround totally
the Father will be there as well
Jesus will support you
Pastor Jean: thank you Jesusj
Pastor Jean: as you did yesterday
Char Tierney: Rwanda does not belong to the enemy, it belongs to the Creator of the world
beautiful lakes and mountains, they came from the Creator, not from demons
and the Creator is with You,
loving you
loving Rwanda
thank you, Jesus, for your great support for Jean
Pastor Jean: yes
Char Tierney: be with Him in power on Tuesday
and let them want the pictures themselves
Pastor Jean: i always witness his love
Char Tierney: yes, His love never ends
Pastor Jean: true
Char Tierney: we all love you
have more good food if Beathy can cook it
Pastor Jean: and yesterday i stand there all the day being bombarded of question
Char Tierney: I could feel you afterwards
and you were so drained and exhausted in spirit from the attack
Pastor Jean: but Jesus always was giving me what to say
Char Tierney: yes, Jesus
thank you Jesus
God bless you

Fund raiser for Rwanda

Someone very kindly donated several bags of very good condition women's clothes to us. Our first plan was to send them to Pastor Jean in Rwanda so he could share them with the genocide widows among whom he is living and to share the remainder with the orphans that his friend Augustin supports. We were making some calls about the cost of mailing the clothes and we discovered that the US Post Office has discontinued economy mail overseas! It would be thousands and thousands of dollars to mail the clothes (I called one company and they suggested the price of $600 per box - we have approximately 20 boxes - even the post office could beat that price at about $260 per box) so we asked Jesus what to do and He told us have a garage sale. So, we wondered how we could go about doing this since we live in the country (the boondocks!) and then our friend and neighbor Rick told us that his daughter is having a garage sale this very weekend and said we could sell the clothes there. THANK YOU, JESUS! And thank you Rick and Ashley.

So, we are going to the yard sale with the clothes. Jean and his family need a refridgerator. Can you imagine hosting a gathering of neighboring widows and their children without a fridge? Can you imagine living with your wife and four children without a fridge? Father, bless Jean for his faithful heart and his willing service for You. Please provide everything he needs to carry out Your will. Please provide the money for the fridge and other needs he has, and above all, Father, we ask You to bring healing to our brothers and sisters in Rwanda.

Another situation that is arising in Rwanda concerns the children of the genocide widows. Many of them cannot afford to go to school. I told someone today that it was $100 per child to go to school and they said that to the Rwandans this is as though it were $1000 per child for us in America. The reason the school charges this price is for the children's uniforms and books, which are required for school. Jean said that the children become street children when they do not go to school. He told us that he shared pictures of Jesus with many of them and they told him that they love Jesus, but they wish they could go to school.

What tragedy is this! Their parents have suffered the horror that came among them, and now the children must suffer because they cannot receive a basic education? Jean said that the tendancy of the street children is to grow up and become alcoholics. Of course we have been asking the Father every day since we heard this to intervene. What can we do to help? We will see how many of Jean's immediate neighbors have children out of school, and see if we can help them, and then we will continue to pray for all the children in Kigali, and all of Rwanda, that they be allowed to get an education. We know that the Father is tender in His love towards them, and that He is determined to help them, to heal them, to bring Jesus to them, because He loves them and He grieves as they grieve because of the pain and wounds they still have in their spirits. So, please join us in lifting up all of Rwanda to their Creator, who is our Friend, and our God. Pray for schooling. Are there any volunteers in Rwanda who could help? Is there a church who would offer their building for children to gather to learn the basics of reading and writing and math?
